Srinagar, October 16 (KNS ) On his first day as Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir, Omar Abdullah has set the tone for his administration by prioritizing the comfort and convenience of the public.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Abdullah shared his instructions to the Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir.

He explicitly stated that there should be no “green corridor” or traffic halts during his road movements, a practice often used for VIPs that causes disruption for ordinary citizens. He further directed that the use of sirens should be minimized and that police should avoid using aggressive gestures, such as waving sticks, during these movements.
